Bates (1881b) described Tyrinthia reversa based on a single specimen from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) ( Fig. 36 ). Lameere (1883) transferred the species to Hemilophus Audinet-Serville, 1835 , but Aurivillius (1923) kept the species in Tyrinthia Bates, 1866 . Later, Martins & Galileo (1991b) transferred T. reversa to their new genus Icimauna .

Martins & Galileo (2014b) described Tyrinthia humeralis based on a series of males and females from Brazil (Goiás). Examination of the paratypes deposited at MZSP ( Fig. 31 ) showed that T. humeralis lacks the typical humeral carina present in the species of Tyrinthia . Comparison with specimens of Icimauna reversa deposited in the MZSP collection ( Figs 32–34 ) makes it clear that T. humeralis is simply a variation of I. reversa . Thus, T. humeralis is synonymized with I. reversa .

Mehl et al. (2015) describe Eranina tomentilla based on a single female from Paraguay ( Fig. 35 ). Along with T. humeralis , E. tomentilla is simply another color variation of Icimauna reversa , and hence is also synonymized with it.

Icimauna reversa shows notable variation in the color of elytral pubescence ( Figs 31–36 ), and also some variation in pronotal pubescence. However, there are no other morphological characters evident which allow separation of the specimens.
